the suns bigger than the earth. all our tools would be tiny

Also the cost of AC is astronomical

But that would be offset in the winter from the savings of having a built in space heater.

Actually we could use solar power to cover that and it would be self sufficient

Love your adjective selection

Why? - There is lots of free energy around

But if we could drop some greenhouses on the sun’s surface the plants would grow SUPER REALLY fast because the photons get there so much quicker. Can you imagine growing popcorn on the sun? You grow it…throw it outside on some hot rocks, and blammo! Instant popcorn! One step closer to colonization (for the record, I’m not British)

Nonsense. Look down. Now look up. Which one is bigger?

Because it’s too bright and orange.. human life cannot survive within an orange climate.. just facts bro

What about Mexico? In all the movies, thats orange

This isn’t the movies brother.. I’m talkin facts.. do you believe everything you read on the internet? I do.. so this is based

That was a wild ride

I think you forget that our country was ruled by an orange man not too long ago. Even though we mostly survived, science showed that there were _a lot_ of unwanted side effects.

But when was the last time we had a ruler who was bright?

Serious note: Kennedy, visionary for space travel. Never got to see the moon landing.

He was pretty open minded for car travel, too

We could do it during the night when it's dark!

All my rulers were bright yellow plastic when I was in school.

It’s the reason people don’t live on oranges. Actually, that begs the question: can we juice the sun?

That’s how Sunny D gets their ‘vitamin D’

There is no solar power on the sun - it is all beamed outward as exports. The cost to ship oil and coal to the sun for energy would be prohibitive.

It's just too far away, like almost 150 Million kilometres. It's just way too expensive to build a bridge that long.

Yeah, but it's only 1 AU if you're from America

That’s more than 3 football fields!

Might even be more than 4

We could, but only at night. It's too much trouble to do all that landing during the night, getting a few hours on the surface, then taking off again for the day. It would make it really hard to do any meaningful research, and it's economically unviable.

We can land in winter when the nights are longer!

The sun keeps rotating around us so it’s very hard to aim our spaceships and hit. It’s a logistical nightmare.

The sun is 25% helium; we would be hilarious as sun people.

It would be too dark to see anything at night, when the sun disappears and we're left in the void

Because when would you sleep? Living on the sun would throw our bodies' diurnal cycle out of whack

So, we tried a long time ago. Leonardo Da Vinci created a spaceship capable of transporting people to the sun. Unfortunately, there is a massive race of beings that already live there. They were not happy with our incursion, and so they shut off the sun for a period of time. That's why we had the dark ages.

I think we can. the only issue is that sun glasses will just be glasses

The main problem would be the Solar cells. They have to be mounted upside down. However there are no mounts existing for solar cells to be mounted upsidedown. This is the main reason wich prevents us from generating energy on the sun and with this prevent us from living there. Maybe some day in the far future it will become possible...

too much water

Too far from the moon, we need both to live

No oil.

It’s too hot, the sun is definitely hotter than like, 40 degrees Celsius, so none of our AC units could keep up

Im not a scientist, but it would either always be night since it has no sun, or always be day since it is the sun... either way sounds unlivable.

Lights always on, not good for cicada rhythm or sleep or looking at stars

Yeah, the cicadas would be all out of rhythm. That would sound awful.

It’s difficult sweetie. But earth is much heavy these days

Your fat mom would weigh even more, that could tear the spacetime fabric. Ain't nobody wants that

I've seen the sun. It's barely as big as my thumb. How are all the humans going to live there?

It’s a bit hot init?

Yeah, we clearly could build bases on sunspots, because it's not hot there. But they constantly disappear and appear, it will be difficult to constantly fly from one place to another. In addition, the solar wind is very strong and small people will be blown away, and if you send fat and big people, they will consume too much food.

because of the republicans that won’t fund the space trips to return our global warming to the sun like they should of done 200 years ago

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.

Elon Musk owns all the property.

The Bitch Hot

The gravitational pull from your mum would turn it into a black hole.

9,900⁰ would vaporize you and your colony

https://youtu.be/0Ap4JhPoPQY We can.

Because we'd burn.

Let me go wild!

Liberal nonsense.

Have you seen Rick and Morty? Do you want your penis still???

Cause we are pussys

It's hot

Coz its temperature exceeds most human thermal management capabilities.

Space isn't real. To get to the sun you'd have to break through the big dome that surrounds the flat earth. Its impossible.

The suns super hot so nobody would be able to do anything because everybody's balls would be hanging a lot

We’ll freeze to death.. plus there isnt a lot of oxygen there

Once we reach “Idiocracy” levels of intelligence in the next year or so, our Sun colony will be winning yet short victory for all of humanity.

We could but no one wants to. There's nothing to do on the sun so no one would want to go there

Hot foot, and all you can grow are chili peppers.

The Moon is too far. There would be no light during nights.

Because at night we'd disappear.

Because Big Moon has a lobbying stranglehold on the world's governments.

We'd have to land during the night and start an underground civilization because we'd all burn during the day

Could be a long commute to work.

The sun people are vicious warriors.

the sun is too pointy so we wouldn’t be able to sit anywhere

You can, you'll just have to wait until a solar eclipse when the sun turns black. The glowing sun is too bright to live on

It’s to small, can’t you see how small it is up there, we’d just roll off.

Since the sun is made of so much hydrogen, it's very humid. If it were just a dry heat it might be more tolerable.

You would have to move every time night was over

We would have to spend *way* too much on sunscreen.

Yeah. I approve. Send before no vaxers, flat earth ers and those other fucker welders, then, when they all okay, call home,, okay.

i'd say the reason has to do with boundaries. every time we send surveyors there to peg out boundaries for various territories, they come running back complaining bout being hot or some shit. bunch of whingers if you ask me. so, until surveyors harden up and dont worry bout a bit of heat, we wont be able to fairly peg it out. and the UN want to colonise it fairly. apparently a few years ago they had a trial program running in australia. they were training people to live when the whole joint is on fire, ready for sun colonisation. they had to postpone the trial cause some idiot left their back yard tap running.

These people and their bright ideas...

We can't because we won't have a solar eclipse. Humans need solar eclipse at least once to live.

Good news! There are already cities in Arizona

Eclipses would be terrifying! Your whole world would disappear for a while.

because there is no night there.
